Most of this has been covered but some more lowsy pics for the record. I was going through all my diffs in hopes of having one with the bearing center gear and do not. Sadly because I do have the special thinner bearings, which you can see measure .108" thick vs a standard bearing of .123" (probably .125, my caliper is not great).
Also shown is a thorp diff gear next to a stock one. It is aluminum and has the round holes compared to stock diff gear which are square holes. So I need to find a ball bearing diff gear as I want to run brushless on this puppy and I think it will hold up better.
yeah i have been running the ball raced diff gear in my pro with a 9 turn brushless without any problem's, the thing wheel stands with ease! big fan of the LRM gearbox having the diff up high as the dirt just does'nt get in there. got a spare to slot straight in just in case also with the bearing gear
Lucky me, I had one LRM transmission yet to be taken apart attached to an old very ratty and early x2 from ebay a while back I just pulled apart, and look what I found!
Oddly this one had two .125" thick bearings in it and not the thinner .108" losi special bearings. Whether it was working I do not know, I am going to reubild with the thinner ones and ceramic balls.
Makes sense as the hole in the female half of the diff is deeper on the Thorpe looking at it. Anyone run the stock metal idler gear with Thorpe metal diff gear. I am thinking a little grease would be good for metal to metal gear?
Excus me for my ignorance,but will the Throp allu diff gear stand up with the abuse of a BL power plant?as opposed to a ball center diff? I
And lastly, is this (center ballrace diff) still available (where and how$$$) or will only be ailable stashed away and prices will be so high as the sky?
What is an alternative for a stock jrx2 tranny? Im not too familiar with the retro fit tranny(just browsed vintagelosi) ,and not sure if this will fit a standard x2 tranny mountng holes or mod will
Be done to accomodate?
Thanks.

There are two thorp center gears, one with two bearings and one that uses a single bearing like the original losi diff.
I would think either would hold up. Some report using a standard Losi one bearing fine with brushless, others not. The ball bearing gear from Losi is no longer available. Nice folks here helped me out though, there may be more out there.
The retrofit tranny fits the older chassis and is basically a XX transmission internally from what I understand, XX parts are usually pretty cheap to find.
Thanks mate, so where can i get these parts from xx?parts list would be appreciated,
Sorry,been awhile since i ve been back to losi, still learning again,
anyone has spares forthe two bearing gears or xx retro fit tranny, welcome your help guys.
Thanks,
Jun.

I had these original bodies painted by Mr. Gary Kyes who also painted many of the early box art bodies including the original JRx2 and JRxPRO. I'll post pictures as soon as I find the time to trim them, mount them up, and apply the original decals....

I love the JRXPro Box Art paint scheme, but its got to be the hardest one to do? :?
Hey gang -- I recently picked up a 10T on ebay and have been rebuilding it. I took apart, cleaned and rebuilt the diff last night, but I'm unable to get it to rotate smoothly once its properly adjusted. The rings and thrust washers had some light...
I'm currently re-building the diffs on my 93WCS project but I have just one quick quiery..... which way round do the pulleys sit? .... both the front & rear pulleys have a deep side allowing the outdrive to sit further into the pulley than on the...

Hi Dan,
As Fakiee said, it is a good question. On the Works '93 (which uses the same outdrives as the WCS only on the rear), the manual indicates that the female outdrive (longer or left side outdrive) goes into the deeper recessed side of the...
so essentially im pretty sure I followed the instructions the plastic part in the outdrives is sticking out a good 1/8 into the area for the dogbone/cvd/uj. Any idea what im doing wrong or does it just do that?
Has anyone ever gotten the measurements of the bearings used in the A-3020 differential gear? I've searched around a bit and other than buying a complete A-3020 in the package, I can't seem to find where I can get replacement bearings.
The original...

When I built my first bb diff, I didn't realize there was a difference...so I used 1 standard and 1 thin bearing. First impression....really smooth. Second impression, why is the diff gear turning without any friction :lol:
I have the 6 Gear and when I hold the large gear that I have labeled B and twist A it is very rough turn. The manual says it should turn very smooth. It clearly is not smooth. I have taken it apart 5 times and every thing is smooth until I install...

I did order 6625s and 6626s just to see if it smooths the rear diff out.
EDIT: No luck with these new parts.... I am thinking it is supposed to be this way.
